The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

49 – Magic Society 2

Rumi’s cold voice came from behind.

The moment she heard that sound, Delia quickly turned her gaze elsewhere.

‘I guess I’m embarrassed.’

She couldn’t help but feel ashamed because she had told not only the person involved but also a third party what was almost like a confession.

I tried to calm down Rumi, who was glaring at me intently from behind, and she spoke briefly.

“We’ll be arriving soon, so let’s get ready.”

At those words, Rumi seemed to have come to her senses, quickly nodding her head and clinging to me.

She glanced at Delia once more and slowly lowered her eyes to her sunken face.

“Welcome to the Academy of Magic, Master.”

Before going up to the 3rd floor, you will reach a checkpoint that you must pass through.

A guide sent by the Lercier family welcomed us.

I nodded lightly in response, and he pointed to a nearby shopping street.

“Before you go up to the 3rd floor, would you like to stop by from the 2nd floor? “There is also quite a lot to see here.”

Hearing those words, I glanced around the second floor and quickly shook my head.

Anyway, anything worth seeing on the second floor would also be on the third floor, so I decided there was no need to stop by.

‘Plus, I don’t like wasting my time for no reason.’

The site is so large that just looking around it would take up an hour.

In that case, it would have been better to just go up to the third floor and look around the third floor in more detail.

So I made a gesture to go up right away, and he nodded politely and spoke to me.

“I understand. If so, I will prepare for you to go up immediately.”

Unlike the second floor, it seems difficult to pass through in one go.

I nodded for a moment at his words, then slowly looked around and got lost in thought.

‘By the way, I don’t see any of them coming to pick a fight with Rumi.’

In the original work, as soon as you reached the first floor, there were guys who immediately came to start a fight.

I don’t know if they were pushed out because there were a lot of people or if it was because I was there.

I shrugged my shoulders, thinking that those guys couldn’t see anything else.

‘Well, it would be better not to lose sight of the tension. ‘I don’t know when or how it will come.’

So, I was slowly lost in thought, thinking that I would keep my eyes on Rumi for today.

I can feel a somewhat strange wave of mana from afar.

‘Did the experiment fail? Or something happened.’

I was curious, but I didn’t want to go to a dangerous place while Rumi and Delia were there, so I tried to withdraw my interest.

‘Anyway, there will be a lot of people other than me who will solve the problem.’

There is no need to get caught up in the work.

Thinking like that, I look away and ignore it.

The central staircase leading up to the 3rd floor suddenly stops working and freezes.

I was crossing my arms, looking around as the surroundings suddenly became noisy.

The guide hurriedly approached me with an expression full of embarrassment and spoke.

“… Young master. “They say something went wrong and the operation was stopped.”

He nodded and spoke at those words.

“When will it start operating again?”

“I’ll have to check the exact time, but considering the wizards are busy, it looks like it will take quite a long time.”

When I heard those words, I looked up and was thinking about what to do.

The guide gives me another suggestion.

“Master, how about taking a look around the second floor while you wait?”

It could be that he is simply asking because he thinks I might be bored.

As I feel a strange urging, a strange suspicion arises.

The moment I had that doubt, I was suddenly able to discover a question I had been missing.

‘… Come to think of it, did I ever tell the butler that I was going to the third floor?’

No, that can’t be possible. In the first place, I was pouring my whole heart into research.

I didn’t even have time to check the grimoire, and I was so busy that I asked Delia about the schedule of the Magic Society, where I only had free time.

It didn’t seem right that I was leisurely telling my butler about my schedule.

‘And worst of all, I didn’t even remember saying anything.’

So there is no way the butler knew that I was going up to the third floor.

I didn’t understand why the guide said that he would lead me to the 3rd floor as if it were obvious.

‘What’s more, this isn’t the only strange thing.’

If you think about it, it was also quite strange that when going up from the first floor to the second floor, the doorkeeper opened the door as if it was natural.

If the butler had made an announcement in advance and made it so that we could go up ‘comfortably’.

Because there had to be a guide or guide from the first floor, not the second floor.

‘If we talk about travel, the guide is not standing at the airport holding a picket. It felt like I was suddenly standing in the middle of a tourist attraction holding a picket.’

So, I couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that everything was strangely out of sync.

… No matter how I looked at it, I had a strong feeling that the Heavenly God Church had planned it out.

‘Is this the reason for the silence? ‘

Anyway, I was worried, thinking that these guys really liked fraud and kidnapping.

‘Then what should I do?’

It would be good to follow along like this, but it might not be a good idea since it could put Rumi and Delia in danger.

So, rather than just following along without thinking, I decided to write down my moves in advance and called a guide.

‘As expected, I can’t tell from the outside.’

I don’t think it’s possible to tell whether this guy is a member of the Heavenly God Church or an ordinary person.

I strongly kicked his calf.

“Turn it off?!”

He was startled by such an action and fell forward, looking at me with an embarrassed expression.

I looked at him like that and spoke as if it was natural.

“Isn’t it natural for a guide to be punished if he doesn’t lead the way properly?”

“…… “

If such a scene were witnessed on Earth, it would have been featured on the main page with articles such as ‘excessive abuse of power.’

This may be because it is a central magic academy with a more distinct hierarchy than other places and a closed culture.

Everyone was indifferently passing us by and doing their own thing.

I thought I was quite satisfied with this situation, and spoke to the guide while slowly trampling him with my foot.

“If a problem arises, it is natural to quickly check and resolve it. “On the contrary, I can see your level by looking at you and trying to avoid responsibility by making excuses.”

It was sophistry itself.

To be honest, the content of the story wasn’t that important.

No matter what I say anyway, that guy won’t hear anything.

‘If you look at it from that guy’s perspective, he probably doesn’t even know why he’s getting hit.’

I guess his main plan was to just pretend to be a guide and then run away.

He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when I suddenly hit him so hard.

I was trampling on the guy who couldn’t resist at all, and then I slowly raised my mana and shot the mana onto his back.

‘After adding magic penetration here.’

Envelop the heart with mana and hold it hostage.

I whispered softly to him in a calm voice.

“Where are the Celestial Church members hiding?”

At those words, my heart starts beating too fast.

I don’t know if it was because he was caught lying to me, or because he was on the verge of death.

One thing is certain: his expression is closer to shock than resentment.

“…… Sir, what is the Heavenly God Church? “I don’t know anything.”

In response to my question, at first he said he knew nothing.

As his heart gradually tightens, he begins to gasp for breath, shouting the words ‘I know!’

Then he urgently cries out to me as if he really wants to be saved.

“Hey, I’m at the bar in the alley over there!”

When I heard this, I thought mockingly.

‘This is probably a lie too.’

All of the guys who are being put into operation in earnest by the Heavenly God Church are under magic.

If I told information about the Heavenly God Church, I was bound to die or become a half-baby.

‘In the case of this guy, it looks like he didn’t suffer any penalty.’

The thought crossed my mind that getting caught was also part of the operation.

I laughed at their methods that became more cunning as time passed. I stood up and looked down the alley.

‘Normally, I would have gone knowingly but with the feeling that I was being punished.’

I was also worried about Rumi and Delia.

Above all, seeing as how Delia had been really looking forward to coming here, she didn’t want to ruin it.

‘So… Rather than solving it myself.’

Deciding to borrow the power of the Magic Society, he took out the magic book from his pocket and sent a text message to the butler.

[It seems like the Magic Society isn’t very safe. I saw the guy trying to kidnap me earlier.]
